Barneycraig Mine Shop, Carrshield
The two storeyed lodging shop is the largest in the north Pennines and retains several original internal features including arched furnace openings and a blacksmiths' forge. Inside and surrounding the lodging shop there are a series of culverts, some of which are thought to have been used to drain the mines; others are thought to be related to the water management system associated with ore processing at the northern end of the monument.

Carrshield Camping Barn
Carrshield is a small settlement in the West Allen valley. That valley has seen extensive mining activity in the past much of it centred at the Barneycraig site. The building is the Barneycraig Mineshop where there were workshops and lodgings for miners; it has been derelict for years as is seen in Mike Quinn's image from 2011 - https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2331364.
The mineshop is grade II listed, is part of a scheduled ancient monument and has been restored and converted to a camping barn - https://independenthostels.co.uk/members/carrshieldcampingbarn/ opening in 2019.

"I should think it no hardship to have remained 24 hours in a mine, but I would be terrified of being ordered to be shut up quarter of an hour in the bedroom of a lodging shop’.
